Week 20: Moxie Cake Becomes Ooda Cake You are in the river aiming for something on the far side but that feisty current has interrupted you, nearly tipped you as you went for it. Ooda! Hmm. Fight with a current? Better to float down stream, take the path of least resistance. Keep your bird eye […]

Week 19: Abracadabra A few musings on Abracadabra with a magic themed drawing from last year. Abracadabra! The way we send our magic into the world. Our spell, the wave of our wand.
